outlines what you require, such as deposits, consultation, late charges, etc.

specifically for those who collect deposits, charge labor, consultation, sell
notions and fabrics. It also has a section for credits, taxes, and balance due
for pickup.

*Sample Price List 1, 2 and 3:A "3" page price list illustrating charges derived from the integrated
pricing method. It shows you how to build specific categories in order to
price your goods and services as a sewing professional.

consultation fees. It has a section for figures derived from the Project
Worksheet and a section for added design details. There are sections for
initial interviews, fittings and pickup appointments. Also used for Business
Policy documentation and to make your invoice. One of the most important forms
you will ever use!

Time and Motion Chart:This is the tool used to actually determine true production
time. To keep the study pure you start the clock and stop it whenever you
receive an interruption or take a break. Although you may be performing your
study on a unit; you will derive the small labor intensive design details
(items) needed for your miscellaneous column on your price list. These are
such things as buttons, hook and eyes, snaps, zippers, matching stripes and
plaids, and anything you think will be an item pricing element on your final
price list. We need to know production time for construction as both an item
and a unit for pricing our labor.

Project and Task List:Used to list all of the labor elements that you perform on
your projects. You will list them in three categories: Initial Preparation;
Construction, and Finishing. Used for both an item and a unit. We want item
figures so we can charge for labor intensive design details when needed. Some
professionals place pick-up time in this section. Those who specialize in home
décor might put their installation time here.

Price List Worksheet: This is the last form needed to develop
your final price list. You will take the figures from the “total time column”
of your time and motion chart and put them in the column labeled “total time”
on your price list worksheet. Once you have all the labor figures for items as
well as units, you will use your base hourly rate to figure your labor
charges.

Request Form:Designed
to save you time when clients are looking through pattern books. It serves to
let you know what patterns clients like so that you can plan current and
future projects for repeat business.
